Ramon Te Wake
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ramon Te Wake is a talented New Zealand performer/presenter finding success.
Ramon Te Wake (29), television presenter and accomplished Singer/Songwriter, is fast fulfilling the dreams that she has had since childhood where she grew up in Ascot Park, a suburb in Porirua. Even though singing is a major passion in her life, Ramon has taken to television presenting like a professional. Most recently teaming up with King Kapisi in presenting the Pasifika 2005 festival on TV2 (which screened over the Easter break), she has been enjoying success in front of the cameras.
Moving from the Porirua area into Wellington in the early 1990's, Ramon decided to move to Auckland soon after. There she began laying down the foundations for the success she is enjoying today. Always having had the natural ability to relate to all people, she has beauty and style, which is clearly portrayed through the camera.
“I am working on the follow up album to my successful debut EP, released in 2002 called 'The Arrival', which is really exciting!”, says Ramon, “I was aiming for a country, hip-hop/soul, electronica, rock feel and I cant wait for its impending release for summer 2006”. Ramon has also just finished her first screenplay for film and has been writing it since last summer. It is currently being shown to different respected screen-writers to help smooth out the script and give it the shape that it deserves. Hopefully the silver screen will be its home in a couple of years.
Her first presenting job was for Māori Television, where she was one of three people fronting Takataapui, which is Maori Television's first ever gay and lesbian show. The show finished its first season in 2004 and is starting back in 2005 - 45 episodes over 10 and a half months.
